Want to work with rescue animals to care for them, and help them find a new family? We rescue, rehabilitate and rehome over 500 animals every year, and it wouldn’t be possible without our dedicated Animal Care team making sure that, whilst they are here, they have the best possible life.

There are 20 like-minded people in our Animal Care team, and they are a hard-working and supportive family.
As one of our animal carers, you'll be the one who get to know our rescue animals the best, but the role encompasses much more than feeding and exercising.
About you
You will have the discipline of completing routine cleaning and care to a high standard as well as the flexibility to work with the behaviour and veterinary teams to ensure every animal follows their own individual care plan.
You will have proven animal care experience ideally coupled with appropriate qualifications. Our animals come from a wide variety of backgrounds so you will have the patience to make sure they feel comfortable and secure.
Our Animal Carers are a passionate, hard-working team – will you join us?

- In-house training for welfare, behaviour and veterinary care.
